Fairly certain of this one, but wanting confirmation. Forgive me for the link, but my camera was out of commission that day, so I had to take a video clip. With no tripod. Have the dramamine ready!
This was taken July 16th, in the boonies, smack dab in the middle of Missouri.

Woo! That's what I identified it as in the field. It's going on my life list!
It's a young male, right, with that blue/gray head? The females heads are brown?

I think your right its one of those tweeners - not quite an adult yet.
He probably wanted you to by some beer for him.

I agree with subadult male Blue Grosbeak. Congratulations!
Thanks! I felt quite proud that it wasn't an obvious breeding male and I was still able to identify it!
